Technical field
The present invention relates to the control system of a kind of primary industry equipment or raw material processing industry equipment etc., for example be used to make the control system of the smelting equipment of steel band or non-ferrous metal band, this control system is according to the basic process data of input, by calculating, automatically the state of affirmation equipment and in this equipment the details situation of ongoing manufacture process, the for example continuous casting cycle state of steel band, and the instruction that produces the situation of being fit to obtains reliable production result.
Background technology
The commercial unit of general production or converted products or energy all need have a control system, and its effect is the control that the process of carrying out in the equipment is optimized and carries out economical rationality.So far, this control function is to adopt the equipment of conventional control technology to realize that as far as possible its effect can only realize suboptimization.When occurring a large amount of control technology problems especially in process of production, the required expense of input necessary control technology gets more and more, but it is can not get Manchu's effect.
The operation of metal band type casting equipment brings a large amount of control technology problems, the known single controller of mutual connection or the control circuit of adopting realized control, said apparatus for example has been disclosed in the article that is entitled as " development of bitubular stainless steel strip casting machine " that signature that EP-0138059-A1 and EP-0228038 and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Nippon Steel Corporation metal society conference in 1994 concentrates is K.Yanagi etc., this the following optimal way work of known control method that is used to produce steel band, although it has adopted part mathematical modulo pattern regulating device, still there are sizable instability in its control criterion and quality.Adopt the weak point of the equipment that existing regulator and regulating loop control to be that it must adopt expensive rapid fluid topworks.
In prior art, adopted a kind of expert system that solves the problems referred to above at least in part, this expert system is an intelligence system that is used for primary industry equipment, also can carry out Control and Optimization even it relates to the technical characterictic that control technology is difficult to grasp to the quality of product.The expert system of this prior art can be consulted the article by disclosed being entitled as " best mode of the optimization of direct casting process " in " international metallurgical the manufacturing and technology " 5/1994.In this expert system, although improved production target, but still do not eliminate the basic defect of conventional control method, especially owing to lack right sensors (being similar to raw material processing industry), more obvious in the process of can not be directly the pyroprocess of inside being controlled.
EP 0 411 962 discloses a kind of method that Strip sheet casting is realized indirect regulation, it begins control with reliable input parameter family of curves as the control basis, this family of curves provides the variation tendency of known input parameter-position, by the subscription rate definite value expertise is converted to device control, when mass change or requirement variation, need carry out expensive equipment behavior test, to obtain required new control curve.In addition, this working method is from process optimization wide apart also.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of control system that is used for the unmanageable production run of conventional method, the control system of the production run of the tape casting of metal tape for example, it can reach better production effect in low-cost device.
The objective of the invention is to realize that it is according to existing knowledge given in advance, produce one automatically reliably and the instruction of optimizing as far as possible that is consistent with process control by real intelligentized control system.This is the intelligence system of a complete technology, and it adopts the current computing technique method of using, even can realize the process tuning control of main equipment especially effectively.
According to the solution of the present invention, control system of the present invention progressively optimally forms the instruction of matching process reality by computing technique.Can improve the intelligent behaviour of the quality optimization of implementation procedure control thus, this function be operating personnel can not, or irrealizable in the short time that computing technique reached at least.
According to another scheme of the present invention, existing knowledge given in advance, promptly preferably automatically constantly be carried out internal calculation with the development of process at production period by people's procedural knowledge given in advance, for example on different working points, calculate the value make new advances, and these procedural knowledges that produce automatically as the new existing knowledge store of tuning in the data-carrier store of a continual renovation.In the basis that has provided a very effective lasting optimization, so that the further adaptive or optimization of implementation procedure.The knowledge of these new acquisitions is not only relevant with the accuracy of parameter, and relevant with used algorithm principle.
One have reliable productive capacity can have a basic function system corresponding for the control system that the user trusted with this apparatus assembly, the instruction that it will produce from the computing technique that a process model (the preferably total model of process) obtains is converted to the process control instruction reliably.By with reliable basic function system, this system preferably each assembly of package can reliably working basic automation systems, be connected with the adaptive stable process model of real process with one, form an embodiment of this control system, this control system has the process control reliability identical with traditional control system at least, and reduce cost and increase operation rate and the productive capacity reliability on be better than traditional control system.
The major advantage of this control system is to be the instruction of form with the regulated value for apparatus assembly provides what be suitable for process reality, the position control value for example directly is provided, or the controller ratings about rotating speed is provided indirectly.These instructions are preferably directly determined according to the parameter of process model.The ratings that wherein relates to time restriction preferably connects machine ground and handles other employing off-line mode.Therefore can obtain the conditioned reaction of quite favourable equipment according to the process condition of continuous conversion under the least possible ratings The conditions of calculation.
In order to improve the operational reliability of equipment, described basic automation systems are one and guarantee that independently this equipment or each apparatus assembly are in the reliable subsystem of reliable state and process status, malfunction retrieval system for example, replace where necessary and calculate the instruction that is produced, call the reliable status data that data-carrier store is stored.Like this, when the intelligence computation parts occur wrong and interrupt, be the work of suboptimization although described automated system still can provide reliably.
This basic automation systems preferably have manually or start automatically and quicken routine, and the normal operation routine of suboptimization, have wherein replaced each instruction that common employing computing method obtain with changeless reliable predetermined value.The structure of this basic automation systems is particularly suitable for moving debug phase and a kind of duty with great-jump-forward request alternately.At this moment, each model part needn't use with the suboptimization function of specific adaptive form for the intelligence computation parts.This system also is applicable to the operation total model of process part and/or that part is adaptive.
The total model form of the employing process of process model own is formed with modular structure, and it comprises and has described the process input parameter, regulates the characteristic relation between parameter and the process output parameter (for example qualitative character value of the product of manufacturing).This modular character allows to constitute the favourable total model of process and it is handled, because the single submodel of its institute's foundation is open-and-shut.This process model should produce based on the mathematical description mode as far as possible, if can not adopt mathematical way, can adopt the linguistics mode to express mold portion and assign to realize, for example realizes by fuzzy system, fuzzy neuron system and expert system or the like.For brand-new part of appliance, but do not have mathematics-physics, chemistry or the metallurgical basis of component model, or do not have the procedural knowledge that adopts the linguistics mode to express, in this case, use automatic learning system, for example neuroid.So for all production equipments, how its scale or structure all can set up a total model of process.
Obviously, production run can according to the effect of employed conventional part, suitably replace necessary usually model module with the part of conventional method operation cost effective method work routinely.For example the spool at milling train partly is exactly this situation.
This process model preferably can be according to the process data that is stored in the process database, constantly with process is adaptive and optimization progressively, used method comprises adaptation method, automatic learning method, for example a kind of back-propagating learning method or for the system of selection of different submodels, as neuroid or its part.So the model that is provided is the model that a kind of its major part can be learnt automatically, can realize the adaptive adjusting or the optimization of online or off line.
In a preferred embodiment, the process variable that can regulate is like this by progressive optimization on process model by optimizer, model output parameter (the especially qualitative character value of product) should be as much as possible with predetermined, for example make every effort to the value unanimity that reaches.By off-line processing, can reasonably control the calculated amount of this process for optimizing process.This off-line optimization can be finished at discrete computing machine with adaptive the walking abreast of model, also can be at rest period, for example between weekend or maintenance down period, on the computing machine of an operational parameter control that the basic function system is provided, finish.
This optimization adopts conventional optimization method to realize, particularly passes through genetic algorithm.The selection of concrete optimization method is decided on actual conditions and practical problems.For example can be according to predetermined value, according to for the analysis of process process, or from the optimization method set, carry out the selection of computing technique.Here can adopt a kind of simple " examination error successive approximation method ".For reducing amount of calculation, suggestion is supported " examination error successive approximation method " by convergence and pattern recognition method in eliminating error process.
Each initial value of optimizing preferably obtains in the service data of the suboptimization from be stored in the process data storer.Can reduce the workload of optimization like this, because the value of computation optimization from optimizing in advance, these values are counted as the intermediate value that reliable recognition goes out and use as initial value.
The optimizing process of total system is divided into three grades at least, minimum one-level is for being stored in continuing to optimize of existing procedural knowledge in the data-carrier store, for example the form of this procedural knowledge is the reliable working point of suboptimization, it automatically moves closer to a good fit procedural knowledge level, and proceeds thus to optimize.
The second level mainly constitutes by process is adaptive, and it is consistent model characteristics as far as possible with process characteristic.
Evolution strategy and genetic algorithm etc. are for example adopted in the instruction that the third level produces realistic tuning progressively by the process optimization device.This strategy requires a large amount of computing times, and preferably off line realizes.
Described system optimization process also can realize by outside analog computation, model trial-production, under the possible situation, can also experimentize on production equipment by supplementary means, thereby realize optimizing.

" control engineering is put into practice " of for example publishing according to the foundation of the foundation of application model structure of the present invention and a part and parcel model in the Elsevier scientific company, 1994, second volume, the 6th phase, 961-967 page or leaf S.Bernhard is illustrated in people's such as M.Enning and H.Rabe the article " robotization of thin steel band direct pouring laboratory factory ".Can learn the basic structure of suitable basic automated system and the basic structure of promoter routine from this is open, the professional can set up the basic Department of Automation promoter routine of unifying thereon.
Workstation (for example workstation of Sun Microsystems) is suitable for process optimization and parameter adaptation.For big control system, preferably use parallel computer.This is suitable especially when model can be divided into model module, can be optimized according to the dependence of each several part assembly.
Ratings (being the ratings that flows through thickness of strips, section configuration, steel strip surface quality in embodiment chosen) is pooled to comparison point 19, and carry out the result of Model Calculation and the comparison of predetermined ratings continuously at this, by optimization its difference is minimized.Because this error of general technology process can not be zero, thus must be limited to optimizing process in the significant scope, that is be scheduled to make its interruption.Be used to interrupt optimizing with each accurate step that starts the given program structure of new ratings and be shown in Fig. 3.
An error function of each less important selection of the expression of 58 among Fig. 3, definite error (ratings departs from) is imported into this function.Judge 61 whether this error function satisfies the interrupt condition of optimizing process.If satisfy, then continue control and adjusting parameter that output is optimized.Before reaching interrupt condition, initial value arrives the predetermined assembly 59 of initial value from data-carrier store continuously, at finding step 60 is not from optimizer by means of for example fuzzy interpolation therefrom, but is a sub-control of optimizing process control acquisition and regulates parameter from data-carrier store.After reaching a performance factor of predesignating of an adaptive current control system state of knowledge, switch.As previously mentioned, minimization process (this process is absolute never) is interrupted after reaching this performance factor of predesignating.
In addition, when this model was connected with this process, when that is to say switch 1 closure, the also favourable real estate of this model was given birth to the alarm signal that an indication reaches critical mode of operation.Such process is known, and is present in the same way in the conventional control system.
Fig. 4 represents that by means of the adaptive mechanism of a kind of optimized Algorithm implementation model data arrive finding step unit 62 from the predetermined assembly 61 of initial value among the figure, and from continuing to send to model 63 as model parameter here.Model 63 constitutes a parameter with data-carrier store 64 and improves circulation, and it is in 65 values of having set up more and having stored in known manner.This fiducial value is transfused to error function 67, and it is the further guiding of its value interrupt condition unit 66.If satisfy interrupt condition, then this model no longer continues to improve, and handles with existing value.Otherwise will use other finding step to proceed to optimize and intermediate value is continued to flow to data-carrier store.
Fig. 5 represents the important sub-model of the total model of process of present embodiment, and 46 expression input models have wherein been gathered external action, for example the influence of the quality of employed material among the figure.Produce for example liquidus line value by the steel quality that uses, solid-state curve values, and the parameter of other expression casting behavior.47 expression casting pan models, input therein is the steel volume of this casting pan for example, and tubular stinger position and filling position and steel flow out temperature.Input model 46 and 47 collects in the sub-model 56, and it reproduces the state of the material that imports.This sub-model can be very advantageously and other sub-model casting area domain model for example, parallel optimizations such as rolling regional model.
Sub-model 51 comprises all to solidifying the parameter that influences of workplace, and this solidifies workplace is to roll two coolings to roll on the zone that the metal level that solidifies occurs simultaneously.These influences mainly are by watering the work of deformation that execution is rolled in casting, water the vibration width of the steel band that casting rolls or shut out, the tensity of latasuture sealing influence and total system, and this for example is a fuzzy model.Sub-model 52 reproduces the value of shutting out, and for example, the quality of steel band shuts out the temperature and the distribution of steel, also comprises the cementability and the state thereof of the oxide skin of formation.Input model 53 and input model 74 also import in the sub-model 52, and they relate to band steel transverse temperature curve and this belt steel surface state.In very favourable occasion, when relating to a Strip sheet casting milling train, a milling train steepness model 54 also imports this special process model, because the formation of product is conclusive criterion after deviating from from rolling-mill housing.
Sub-model collects in product and forms model 57, and it has compiled the core texture, surface structure etc. of the thickness curve, belt steel thickness of the band steel that forms, possible graph of errors, band steel.The surface structure, particularly core texture of band steel can only calculate with very big time-delay.Therefore, preferred here the employing based on the sub-model of neuroid is next qualitative influences parameter with quantitative Analysis.
The advantage of the model of setting up with modular form as can be seen from the narration of front, but special because the each several part parallel work-flow of the total system model of a complexity.This is for equipment advantageous particularly during putting into operation, and during this, the situation that input model and sub-model must adaptive reality is connected to each other or the like.
Fig. 6 represents the pith of data memory structure of the present invention at last.68 expression process databases, 69 representation model parameter storage parts, 70 expressions are used for the part of the initial value of optimizer, and 71 expressions are used for the memory portion of reliable operation point.In 68, also store the formation of each model.
Basic automation cell must be carried out a large amount of functions, and its adjusting, control, locking constitute an indispensable part of control system, because it also can guarantee this equipment reliability service when functional fault appears in the model part of control system of the present invention.
In Fig. 7, represent each function (not termination) with " black box ".The 21 expressions flow regulation by single speed regulator in an embodiment wherein, 22 expression casting pans add heat control, 23 expression casting plane regulating, 24 expression casting pans shut out control, and the infrared lamp 7 that waters the operating temperature that casting rolls or the heating power of similar lamp are kept in 25 expressions.The control of 26 expression lubricant additions for example rolls on the form that applies casting powder cream with casting powder in bulk or to watering casting.27 expression cooling water inflow controls, the 28 rolling vibrations that express possibility are regulated, the electric drive controlling of 29 expressions, 30 expressions are rolled seam and are regulated, lift-over velocity modulation joint is rolled in 31 expressions, 32 adjustings of rolling the lift-over square that express possibility, 33 expressions are watered the preset that cleaning systems are rolled in casting by what for example brush and scraper were formed, the adjusting of the vibration width of the steel band that 34 expressions are used for the adjusting of power driven system of steel band weight balancing and 35 expressions after casting.36 expressions are used for the adjusting of single part of a power driven system of latasuture sealing, and the heat regulation of the cell sidewall of casting between rolling is watered in 37 expressions.The temperature curve of 38 expression heating systems 10 is regulated.39 and the forming unit that connects after representing of other regulon rolling-mill housing for example, the adjusting of the traction between the rolling-mill housing etc.Time control 45 acts on above-mentioned adjusting gear, controller etc., and it coordinates controlled variable output etc. in time.Auxiliary control and blocking device in square frame 40, have for example been compiled, for example automechanisms are started in 41 expressions, 42 expressions disconnect automechanisms, 43 and 44 expression blocking devices, and they for example prevent that the liquid steel from rolling and flow before can working etc. to rolling to roll with shaping watering casting.In addition, the unshowned steel band that to need to be used for separates (for example passing through laser) on schematic diagram in addition, is used for influence and forms oxide skin (for example by the silicic acid salinization), is used to roll other system that waits of lubricating of rolling.The predetermined V of measurement data I and ratings collects in the basic automation cell, and forms adjusting parameter I V, by this parameter equipment is controlled.
Be that example is described in detail the feature of self optimizing and continuing the control system of development according to knowledge with the casting operation of rolling below.
The casting operation of rolling comprises a plurality of minutes processes, their formation and influence play a decisive role for final products, can be according to the present invention by a series of adjustable procedure parameters rolling crack of for example casting, the rolling curve of casting, casting level etc. influences and optimizes the feature of final products, its thickness for example, thickness curve with and the surface form, they influence conversely watering casting and roll on the position of the metal level merge area of adhering to, solidifying.For realizing control and optimize that the present invention has advantageously set up an overall process model of describing the process behavior.Can be according to process condition progressively adaptive and optimize the parameter that influences be used for influence process according to this process model.Can cause the improvement of process by the instruction of the definite suitable the present situation of this optimization.Though software overhead is relatively costly (but as long as use very little cost more during fabrication, also can be used for miscellaneous equipment), but overall expenses greatly save because compare with the equipment of routine, this equipment can be used very simple mechanical component, work such as controller still less.Sensing mechanism is also very simple in addition, because only need gather existing process output parameter.
The automatic improved intelligence part of control system is made up of three important elements: these three elements are process models, the adaptive and process optimizer of model.Process model is made up of subsystem (module), and the procedural knowledge of these subsystem foundations has dissimilar.Under the knowledge of physical relation, can set up classical physical mathematics model.If only have experience and estimation, then use fuzzy or fuzzy neuron system.If people seldom or be entirely ignorant of the process behavior, just as the occasion that forms in the crack or the surface forms, then use (at least when beginning) neuroid to set up process.This model is described the relation between the procedure parameter generally, the level of for example casting in the example of selecting, the state value of cast material and quality, the mass parameter of watering preset value that casting rolls etc. and steel band, for example thickness, curve and shaping surface.
Because this model is perhaps being based upon on the uncertain knowledge with a great percent on certain degree, so it is inaccurate.That is to say and to carry out adaptively according to the process data that obtains to this model, revise or the like.This point is advantageously by the adaptive realization of model on the known process-state data that is based upon the past.According to these data, so regulate model parameter, make the adaptation procedure behavior of model behavior ground as well as possible.In addition, this model is also optimized from changing.For example, make up evolution etc. by genetic algorithm.Corresponding optimisation strategy is known, and for example from Ulrich Hofmann, HannsHofmann shows " optimize and cross the threshold " book, company limited of chemical publishing house, 1971Weinheim/Bergstrasse; H.P.Schwefel shows " computer model being carried out numerical optimization by evolution strategy " book, Basel, and Sttutgatt, Birkhaeuser 1977; Eberhard Schoeneburg shows " genetic algorithm and evolution strategy " book, Bonn, Paris, Reading, Mass, Addison-Wesley, 1994; Jochen Heistermann shows " genetic algorithm: the theory and practice of evolutionary optimization " book, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Teubner, 1994 (Teubner-Texte ZurInformatik; Bd 9).
Control system of the present invention with above-mentioned advantage can replace a control system up to now set up structure.By a basic automation cell that relates generally to procedure level (I level), can obtain an intelligence control system of having only one-level, wherein predesignate the amount of production definite value and produce all preset parameters (regulating command) (II level) automatically by it for it.This system always obtains better process result according to the process result who has reached in intelligent self-optimizing.Therefore can omit single FEEDBACK CONTROL single channel, only need to be used for the sensor of control of quality, so that the control procedure result.Control system of the present invention also only has two important levels, and its intelligence level does not need any visuality except that programming.But the element that can show basic automation cell for the purpose of controlling in known manner.
